 Neivark is all open; about Fojfen the foil is 

 a rich clay, which flacks after rain like

1. Fallow 



2. Wheat or barley 



3. Beans.

 Two pieces of fruits and flowers, with a china

 Virgin and Child ; pleafing. 

 Portraits of the hereditary prince, the count de la 



Lippe, and duke Ferdinand; very good ones, 



efpecially the laft. 

 Landfcape ; the glowing light behind the trees 



fine. 

 Storks; good. 



A witch's
